Mona was born on a farm in the province of Salzburg. Unfortunately, the owner had no interest in the foal and also not in the mother mare Olympe. Mother and daughter arrived at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf in July 2017 in a terribly neglected state. Two Aiderbichler women had become aware of the mother mare and foal while on vacation - the traces of neglect could not be overlooked: Olympe and Mona had hooves that were far too long, and every step they took certainly caused them great pain. The Aiderbichler women wanted to help. The owner gave them an ultimatum: "Take the animals or they will go to the dealer tomorrow!" All levers were set in motion, and just a few hours later Mona and her mother Olympe moved into Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf.
